The installer will copy the FabFilter Volcano 3 plug-in into the common VST, VST 3, AU (macOS only)
and Pro Tools plug-in folders on your computer. On macOS, the global plug-in folders in
/Library/Audio/Plug-Ins are used.
In most cases, your host will then recognize the plugin automatically. However, if the
instructions below do not work, see Manual
installation instead.
Pro Tools
Choose an empty insert slot on one of your audio tracks, instrument tracks or buses and select
FabFilter Volcano 3 from the pop-up menu in the Effect section.
Studio One
Click the '+' button next to the Inserts tab of an audio track, instrument track or bus and
select 'FabFilter Volcano 3' from the drop-down menu.
Logic Pro

In Session view, select the track you would like to place FabFilter Volcano 3 on, for example by
clicking the track name. At the left top of Ableton Live's interface, click on the Plug-in
